Next time, I have to talk about 3D printing filaments in my Tech blog because I think I have a general idea of which filaments (PLA, PLA+, TPU, PETG) I like using which give me good results.

The printers are a lot cheaper and better than when I got into the hobby. It does take time to get good prints, especially on budget printers like the Ender series.

3D Printing firearms is VERY interesting to me lmao. In general, firearms are interesting. I want to one day stockpile a ton of firearms+ammo, in case the fall of civilization comes, although I probably won't ever get the shekels to en masse stockpile firearms.

Civilization will probably never fall unfortunately. At worst, It'll be like the older fallout games where there's going to be a resurgence in electricty, goverment control, etc. I used to be one of those doom and gloomers if you read my previous blogs from years ago but now I think nothing usually never happens.

I would generally recommend stockpiling a reasonable amount of firearms and ammo to outlast rising cost. I don't have a lot of firearms so I mostly rely on relatives to try out new stuff which I haven't done in a while. You probably shouldn't go overboard with collecting firearms unless that's something that really interest you. The last thing you want is a bunch of firearms that never get any range time.

At that point, it's honestly no better than collecting funko pops. You have to balance out your hobbies with one another and funny enough, 3D printing is a pretty versitle hobby that covers vidya, tech, firearms, and maybe anime related stuff too (Because I'm too cheap to buy figures).

Print a Gameboy pistol where you can load game cartridge magazines and an anime girl stand that holds it all with her arms out. Also the pistol still fires bullets, the game carts are just part of the magazines

The screen would be uh ... On the barrel. It's collapsible. The safety switches from Gameboy mode to semi or 3 round burst or USB mode

@wizardperspective I am currently under "nothing ever happens", although I'm actually awaiting the fall if anything. I only really collect things which have a use, such as pencils, old-tech, etc so stockpiles of an extreme level aren't a problem. That and I'll live in the middle of nowhere anyways, on the cheapest isolated land I can get (that is usable for farming). Odds are, space won't be a big issue.

think you've hit several nails on heads: for one thing, novelty is subjective and there's a huge amount of digital content out there to explore without the latest smart fridge or whatever

Great stuff as usual, Grinds. Reminded me of a stretch of time in HS when I started replaying SNES games of my childhood. I'd put a CD on the stereo and jam out peacefully playing through all the classics I had never proper beaten. At the time, it was seen as anti-social or weird for me to do this, but I think if I could get back to that space of genuine contentment with a "simple" set up, I'd be radically happy.

Between this essay and this one by Corey Doctorow, https://pluralistic.net/2024/07/20/ransom-note-force-field/ , I feel like a lot of new tech is not as counter-cultural and more corporate, hence less 'novel'.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I wondered if this would come across as a "tech is bad and everything is bloat (except the stuff I use)" type of post. Glad it hasn't.

@ghostscape absolutely, the internet archive alone offers a near-endless stream of entertainment. @nohappy, I was a certified Sega-boy, but I have similar memories of simpler times. Radically happy times even.

@misterdizzy That was a good article. I remember reading it ages before we were following each other here. I don't know if mine is "more comprehensive" though. @murid, Doctorow is always an interesting read. Intriguing that he brings up Mark Fisher in that essay, because his writing has been on mind a lot as I think about this stuff.

I really enjoyed this. I think there's a way aging can effect our craving for novelty, too. There's only but so many times you can be sold the "next great thing" before you anticipate the rush wearing off before it's even started. Best to just find the things you enjoy for their own sake, not because of novelty.
